World of StarCraft

This time around gaming communities are buzzing with the rumors of StarCraft 2 which should be in the making. I still have a original StarCraft and its expansion and i can truly say it is a great game. It was a small revolution of its time, because for the first time in a quality title players could experience battles between 3 completely different raises. The story and music also helped in bringing it to be a smashing hit. Original StarCraft is still mega popular in South Korea where it is played on many LAN parties and tournaments so no wonder that rumor of StarCaraft 2 coming out originated from Korea. The rumors still haven't been confirmed that there shall only be StarCraft 2 the strategic game, and why is that important? Well if you combine very very large number of fans awaiting StarCraft 2 the strategic game with the World of WarCraft what do you get? Its simple another money making machine World of Starcraft. The time is ready to replace WoW on the throne and what better way to heat up excitement than with StarCraft 2, its almost like with Warcraft 3.
I just wonder who shall benefit from it, why not all, players and game makers. Well did we with the WoW, that is for you to answer. For now i am certain good old StraCraft is a great game and if you haven't played it, go get it and have fun like you should be with all the great games.

What is it with the WoW?

I mean really is World of WarCraft fun or addictive game? Today WoW is popular around every corner, just look at all the web sites that are selling gold from the game for real money. World of Warcraft has evolved beyond the PC game limits, it has created a economy of its own. Selling weapons from the game or entire characters has become a profitable business. I personally know at least ten people who are addicted to the game, how, well they always want that better new armor or a super cool flying mount to show everyone that they are the best. But the main point is, if you play the games just for showing off, that way spending sleepless nights earning experience and gold is it fun. Do you really like having spent 30 hours just that you could than show everyone that you have a super uber sword, i mean really!
The company behind WoW has certainly done its job, they certainly don't want to see us from 1 st to 70 level in 10 days or that you could get some nice armor for just spending 2 hours playing. And why should they, we are all paying real money for experience in their creation. Main point of every game should be fun not somethin like "you cant be in our guild you don't have all the epic items" which i encountered several times from the guild masters of some "famous" guilds. Fun people, fun, not real life where most people work hard for money and there is injustice, for all the troubles real life is enough and at least games should be free of that. Remeber that when you are having "fun" playing some games.
